Spooky the Tuff Little Ghost

Kooky spooky fun from the February 1966 issue of Spooky #90 ...yep, this is the stuff I grew up on, and Harvey Comics really knew how to pack each issue full of great characters and storytelling, not to mention appealing full-page advertising that was much more than just issue filler. Did anyone have the Transogram Pretzel-Jetzel? God, it looks amazing!

Google has a couple nice pix of the Pretzel-Jetzel, in and out of the box... and notice how the ad says "As seen on TV"? If anyone finds commercials on youtube or anywhere please stick a link here in the comments.

Glad you enjoyed the Spooky tales, and I will undoubtably have lots more Harvey fun in the months and years to come, so bookmark this blog and become a follower too if you haven't already--- and tell all your friends about AEET! Thanks!

I had this one! Brings back memories. I loved Spooky and Casper and Wendy. I look forward to more of these. And the nice thing about them being online is they can't get chewed up by mice like my hard copies did.
